CHAPTER XV. R. CAVANAUGH carefully tuck- ed the hair between thumb and forefingers into the envelope which lay ready in- his coat pocket. The gesture was ap- partently merely that of reaching for a folded handkerchief, with which 'he dabbed his fingers after restering the teeth to their owner. Mrs. Kane'with a sublime disregard of germs and complete lack of embar- rassment, popped the teeth into her mouth. “But aren’t you, to say the least of | it, interested in knowing the fate of the lady to whom you have been so long devoted?” “Devotion's neither here nor there,” irs. Kane responded cryptically. I guess I'll find out all I need to know soon enough—maybe sooner.” “Perhaps. And yet I take it you would want to do all in your power to bring the criminal—supposing there is a criminal to justice.” Dr. Cavanaugh OLDEN heila | spoke with a mild positiveness, as if '* | stating an obvious fact. | But Mrs. Kane was not accepting |any statement merely because it was | positively made. “Justice,” she retorted with an angry | snap of her jaws. “What good would | that do?" Justice generally is just | somebody’s fool notion of the way other | folks' affairs ought to be fixed for them. you've got a long way to go to | prove that there's any criminal in it at all.” “Oh, yes, quite.” Dr. Cavanaugh | waved the point aside 2s if it were not | worth arguing. “I rockon a lady could leave her % | house without being murdered. There's plenty that does, anyway.” | “You're quite right. It isn't certain,” | Dr. Cavanaugh conceded. “Still, I be- |lieve you were the one who was suf- ficiently worried over Mrs. Ellsworth's | absence to notify the police.” | “Yes, I did that. I already told you I was mad at the way Mr. Elisworth acted. And if Miss O'Shay comes back, | she may call me a fool lor my pains. It wouldn't be the first time sie’s done that. At any rate, letting the police | know she’s gone is diierent from get- | ting her mized up with the murdered | corpse of some nobody that Miss O'Shay | probably wouldn't -touch with a 10-foot pole. If Miss O'Shay ever got killed, she'd see to it that it was done with | more-more-style.” Dr. Cavanaugh's wandering gaze un- | obtrusiveiy followed the movement of Mrs Kane's bony fingers plucking at | the folds of her skirt. He was listen- ing more to the modulations of her voice than to her actual words. Was | there an undercurrent of acute anxiety | beneath these disconnected assevera- | tions? “Unfortunately, one cannot always control the stage setting in such mat- ters” he said dryly. “I'm sorry you | don't feel inclined to help us out; but | it you won't, I suppose you won't. He picked up his hat from the table, and spoke with the mild disappointment of one who has been refused a sub- seription to his pet charity. | “Well, I won't, so you might just as well quit right now!” The click with which Mrs. Kane's teeth dropped into gllcda' was a very determined click in- | deed. As he switched on the lights of the car, it occurred to Dr. Cavanaugh that not once had she referred to the miss- ing woman as her mistress, nor ad- dress him in any other fashion than as_an equal. It was late when he entered the | lamp-lit serenity of his most unofficial | looking office, but he lifted the wooden box containing his microscops from a cabinet which looked better suited to [ liquor bottles than laboratory equip- ment, deftly transferred the hair to a glass slide, and for a long time sat motionless at his desk, one eye glued to the instrument. Without looking up, decipherable notes on the sheet of paper under his hand. Barbara, returning from her party, saw the thread of light under the office door. She hesitated a moment, hand lifted to knock. Then, with a weary litttle shake of her head, she thought better of it and flitted noise- lessly up the stairs. ‘The next morning, at an hour when most late-hour folk have yet to begin consideration of breakfast, Peter Piper was also experiencing hesitations and head-shakings. of a connoisseur. “We ought to get Cavanaugh's report in time to make the home edition—Camberwell sald he expectedgit some time this morning. You ne®r can tell about these ‘Ex: perts’; but if he doesn’'t turn up any- thing, play it up anyway as much as you can, and we'll nurse it along. You drop everything else, Piper, and stick to Camberwell. Stick if it takes all day. You might telephone in oc- cassionally.” “'Right.” Peter, the inevitable copy paper bulg- ing from his coat pocket, lounged out of the local room. But he was not whistling. He was meditating dis- obedience to the city editor’s orders— which meant the imminent and definite risk of losing his job, and, what was infinitely worse, of “falling down on a story.” But if his hunch was right, he stood a chance of getting that report at least a full half hour before the boys gathered in the press- he transcribed a series of minute, in- | her | “It's a peach of a good murder!” the | city editor said with the appreciation STAR, WASHINGTON, room at the city hall—getting it in time to beat the opposition, and semn? 1t direct from Dr. Cavanaugh, himself. He stood for a moment outside the entrance to the “Hearld” Building, and even took a few steps in the direction of the city hall. Then he shook his| head and darted across the street pur- | sued by indignant squaks from the | horns of intervening trucks. A moment | later the sputtering with which “Bos- | sy's” engine always preceded going into action was accompanied by a low, lugubrious whistle. Peter was banking everything on a girl whom he had seen only once, a girl with whom he had matched wits | as an antagonist—a girl who would | have no idea what it meant to hear Jimmy say: “You may call at the cashier’s desk for your money”—a girl who wculd think it a matier of no im- portance whether you let your paper down. And yet he was banking on her. (To Be Continued.) Sees Southern Industry Growing.
